Christians in North Korea face rape, torture, enslavement, and being killed for their faith, a damning new report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has warned.
CSW, a UK-based religious freedom charity, said in the report, Total Denial: Violations of Freedom of Religion or Belief in North Korea, that freedom of religion or belief "is largely non-existent" under dictator Kim Jong-Un's leadership.
"Religious beliefs are seen as a threat to the loyalty demanded by the Supreme Leader, so anyone holding these beliefs is severely persecuted," the report says.
"Christians suffer significantly because of the anti-revolutionary and imperialist labels attached to them by the country's leadership."
Among the documented incidents against Christians are "being hung on a cross over a fire, crushed under a steamroller, herded off bridges and trampled underfoot".

All cultures are equal, right? /s
Communism doesn’t tolerate religion. It seeks to be the only source of moral “values”. The family and religion have to be eliminated, unless they can be made to work towards the communist goal.
Without Family, society fails.
AND
The democrats are demonizing Christianity.
Hmmmm!
When oh when is that corrupt and wicked Nork regime going to meet its destruction so deserved?
Does anyone want to think for a minute if South Korea really wants reunification? That’s like taking in my white trash relatives from Appalachia and the Ozarks. Maintaining my own teeth are expensive enough. Pay for someone who has none? Do the Venezuela experiment I suggested. Carpet bomb with MRE’S. Put a U.S. symbol on it along with(in this case) a cross.
It’s only a matter of time before “American Culture” will embrace this type of behavior also.
All you have to do is watch a few videos of mobs of leftists and BLM zombies acting out their rage to believe it.
More proof of the infallible perfection of God’s Word in the bible.
To pray about.
“White trash relatives” is a poor analogy. These are brainwashed, intimidated, pliable and seriously malnourished individuals with diminished mental capacity. In 7 decades, North and South Koreans have become vastly different as a result of the former’s dreadful oppression and treatment, so much so that even physically, South Koreans are tall and more robust while their Nork cousins are the size of adolescent children (and far lower IQs and poorer health).
Whereas “White Trash” often revel in their status, at any point, they could lift themselves out of it, and generally aren’t malnourished. Norks don’t have such opportunities to be lifted out or easy access to food, junk or healthy.
Yours is a better assessment. The people in Norkland are afraid to think for themselves. Any original thought there can have fatal consequences.
“Does anyone want to think for a minute if South Korea really wants reunification?”
I’ve asked the same question. I wonder how deeply the South Koreans want reunification - that is, if queried in detail about it.
North Korea is a basketcase of a country - economically, socially, etc. The people there (more so in the rural area) are so mind-numbed by the regime that the actual $ amount spent in trying to incorporate the North into the South would be beyond astronomical.
I’m not even talking about the $ amount spent upgrading the former North’s electrical, electronic and transportation infrastructure so that it’s on a remotely even par with the South. That alone would be huge.
In addition, how do you take millions of people who have been mentally, socially and nutrtionally deprived and try to bring them up to speed with the South?
If they're sane, they don't. They can't afford it. North Korea is orders of magnitude worse than East Germany. Unifying Germany almost broke it; may have. The jury is still out on that, IMO.
The victim’s body was then cremated, entombed and buried.
It would take generations.
Scared, low IQ children that are brainwashed into believing Grandpa, Papa and Lil’ Kim are God. You diminish your population on purpose for decades and they cease to be a threat to the ruling class.
I’d like to be watching when little Kimmy is presented before G-d, and the multitudes assembled.
Methinks it’s not going to be a mortar to the head.

It might take a century, and probably longer, just to begin to repair the genetic damage to the Norks. They will always be at a disadvantage to SK’ers until they’re assimilated. You won’t see much if any intermarriage between the two. It would be like a High IQ’d 6-foot tall supermodel intermingling with a mentally retarded, 4 1/2 foot tall emaciated child.
Solution: Let’s say the North implodes just in time for the summer break-if there is one. The young folk go to the south for the summer, live in someone’s house, fatten up and watch tv the whole time. Send them back and what do they have? A whole lotta work ahead of them. If the South can do it...
Japan can deport their million or so Koreans and the 2(3) countries can integrate together.
